    The wheels have only caught on one local roundabout. It's massive and i can do it at about 70, my mates Porsche 911 span at 55 :lol:
    But it does have very little body roll, and other than that corner it never catches....

    The N/S window is a clear one.. must have been replaced once in it's 13 years alive.

    Cheers for all the comments.. i never class this cr as a 'looker' but it seems to get some respect for what it is. Thanks! [:D]
